Frequently Asked Questions

PBR Logistics LLC provides domestic shipping services to all 50 states in the United States, and Canada.
Generally, freight is considered over-dimensional (or oversize) if it exceeds standard highway legal limits:
- Width: Over 8 feet 6 inches
- Height: Over 13 feet 6 inches to 14 feet (depending on the state/region)
- Length: Over 48 to 53 feet (varies by trailer type)
- Weight: Over 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight (GVW)
If your shipment exceeds any of these dimensions, it requires specialized equipment, custom routing, and state/provincial permitting.
Yes. Route planning is critical to preventing bridge strikes, low-hanging wire delays, or weight-restricted road violations. For ultra-wide or high-clearance loads, our team conducts physical route surveys—driving the path beforehand with a measuring vehicle to guarantee safe passage.
To give you an exact, binding quote, we need:
- Exact Dimensions: Overall length, width, height, and total weight (including equipment).
- Origin & Destination: Zip codes and site accessibility details (e.g., tight turns, gravel roads).
- Cargo Description: Make, model, or blueprints if available.
- Target Schedule: Delivery deadlines or site readiness dates.
Unlike standard dry-van shipping, OD freight pricing accounts for several operational factors:
- Base Mileage Rate: Scaled to trailer type and weight.
- Permit Fees: Issued per state/jurisdiction along the route.
- Escort / Pilot Car Services: Charged per mile or per day.
- Utility & Engineering Fees: Bucket trucks for overhead line lifts or structural bridge surveys (if applicable).
- Route Survey Fees: Physical driving of the route to ensure clearance before transport.
Permit turnarounds depend on the states or provinces your route crosses and the dimensions of your load:
- Standard Oversize Permits: 24 to 48 hours.
- Superloads or Complex Routes: 1 to 3+ weeks, as these often require structural bridge engineering checks, utility line spotters, and local municipality approvals.
We handle the entire permitting process end-to-end so you don't have to navigate state-by-state regulations.
Requirements vary by state and local jurisdiction, but pilot cars are generally required when cargo exceeds:
- Width: 12 feet (often requires one escort); 14+ feet (often requires front and rear escorts).
- Height/Length: Often over 14'6" in height require height-pole escorts or (depending on the state) anything over 85' in length requires a rear escort.
- Police Escorts: Typically triggered for superloads or movements through dense urban areas and narrow state routes.
Yes. Oversized freight is subject to strict transit windows:
- Daylight Transit Only: Most states restrict oversized loads to running between sunrise and sunset.
- Weekend & Holiday Banned Hours: Heavy loads are frequently prohibited from traveling on major holiday weekends or Sunday afternoons.
- Curfews: Major metro areas often enforce morning and evening rush-hour curfews.
